Iatty2 the best but I burn through wick like crasy.

[AdamAnd]

Been using the iatty2 for a long time and I think the only answer is the juice I am using, but was hoping there might be a creative solution. I vape all day long and all night long at 3.7v at about 1.5 to 2.0 ohm's resistance with the original wick (iatty1) and the wick which came with the iatty2. After about 16 hours its burnt and of course I make a new one and vape away. Can you think of any way or wick that will stand up to my abuse

There is a related discussion here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/gg/266857-how-long-do-your-coils-ody-last.html

I think it probably does have more to do with the composition of your juice than anything else. Some say that a dry burn gets them past needing to change wick. I just change mine... haven't tried that.

Hows bout wrapping some ss mesh around the wick.

There seems to be a fine line between wrapping your coil too tightly or too loosely around the wick. I knoiw I had issues burning wick until I stopped wrapping the wire around the wick in a death grip.

That said, if you get contact whihc is needed, you will burn some wick. As the juice cruds the coil, the wider the surface area into the fiber of the wick. As often as you are rebuilding, it would hurt to try wrapping ever so lsitly less tight around the wick. You will quickly know if it is too loose by the dry taste (some call it popcorn taste).

Just my 2 cents and what cured the excess wick burning for me.

Yup,that is why some use a pin needle while winding coils on wicks!
Go as tight as you want,remove pin,perfect!

That really makes sense, actually. I'm going to have to try this. Hmmm. Now begins the hunt for a small amount of ss mesh.

You have to take care not to make a short with the mouthpiece. just saying.

Is this just true for burning your wick or buildup of crunchy crudjuice around the wick?

And gredie, thanks - that makes good sense, too.

with my last coil I made I used the stock wick 1 strand and wrapped it with a short roll of ss mesh just as wide as the cup. I oxidized the mesh so no worries of a short. So far have had no wick taste or burning wick, just pure flavor it's working quite well

Man, I'm so confused -- you can use the mesh wicks in an Ody?

 

[fright88]

Rip a couple people have mentioned this use Ody wick with mesh just where the wick is inside the ceramic.

 

[ram007]

yep just enough mesh to fit inside the ceramic cup wrapping the wick. i use scott's double wick it suits me fine.

Man, I think these are going to go into the classys.....I'd rather have ease than confusion, too many variables for a mathematics dude like me............
